I don't see a reason to hurt a dog just to make them look mean. And it will not make her look mean. I do not see any reason at all for cropping ears unless you are going to show her, and she clearly has too much white on her body to be shown in Showmanship, which requires Boxers to have cropped ears. Try taking her to work sometime and reasurring people about Boxers, then maybe they wouldn't be as scared. Please change your mind and curve around having her hurt by cropping her ears!!
Getting your dog fixed is painfull to though. And getting your ears or anything for that matter dosent hurt(or hurt me at least lol) I totally agree with you though.
If you dont care what other people think then people like you are going to be the ones giving Boxers bad raps...Also just because you think it makes them look meaner dosent mean other people do
A dog is a dog ears up or down it dosent matter.
I'm sure a huge Mastiff would scare someone too and there ears are always down..
